The antique map titled ‘Skia vel Skiana’, created in 1665, depicts an area in Scotland that includes Portree – Port Rìgh, Camustianavaig, and Achachork – Achadh a’ Choirce. An t-Eilean Sgitheanach is the island’s local name in Gaelic, also known as the misty isle. Known to the rest of us as the Isle of Skye. The map provides a glimpse of that island in the early 17th century, showcasing the rugged terrain and scattered settlements of the Inner Hebrides’ largest isle. While it may not be a comprehensive representation of the entire place as we now understand it, this map of 300 years ago offers a valuable insight into the geography and topography of the Isle of Skye during the golden age of map making. This is a glorious work of art which we will produce for you as a faithful reproduction antique map print.

Some place names that may be covered by the map: Fiskavaig, Staffin, Ose, East Suisnish, Aros Experience, Victoria Falls, Kyleakin, Caroy, Badachro, Skye, Kilt Rock Viewpoint, Inverarish, Plockton, Port Failthe, Lochcarron

Giclée Print Feedback:

Absolutely stellar service! Whilst I was considering my purchase Callum was extremely helpful and friendly, taking the time to actually talk to me rather than keep to business – how refreshing and genuine! I made my purchase quite late in the evening and was surprised to receive notification that it had been dispatched the following day! Lo and behold, I received the print within 48 hours – a remarkably quick turnaround!

Certainly no need to worry about Christmas delivery times! As for the print I bought – perfect… exceptional quality, with fine detail captured without fault. It’s on nice thick paper and packaged with care. I’ll definitely be back for more – I’ve already eyed up my next one!
